Why is it named FIWARE Big Bang?

The name of this product comes from the Big Bang theory of the universe. Because most FIWARE generic enablers in the Core Context Management chapter have an astrology name and this product creates a FIWARE instance as your own universe in which different FIWARE GEs run.
